Late at night, Roma was packing her bags.

The lioness opened the door, stood behind Roma for a moment and asked, "do you have to go?"

Roma responded in sign language: This is an agreement.

The lioness learned some sign language. She understood Roma\'s meaning and asked, "what\'s the agreement between you?"

Roma expressed the agreed content in as simple a sign language as possible: there were three things: having a child, winning a war and raising a title. As long as I could help him make two of them, he would let me leave.

The lioness stared at Roma\'s stomach: "you haven\'t had a baby yet!"

Roma blushed: just two.

Roma captured sheltai, which was a great victory and the key for Manda to become a marquis. It seems that Roma has completed the task. On the day Manda completed her canonization, she is ready to leave.

"Do you love Manda?"

Roma nodded. She had never lied about it.

But loving him and following him all her life are two different things. Roma has her own family and her own mission.

After understanding Roma\'s sign language, the lioness couldn\'t help laughing at herself: "why am I so stupid? I gave him all my life. He said that if I didn\'t have a choice, I wouldn\'t have a choice. In fact, there was an agreement between me and him. As long as the five-year deadline passed, I would be free."

Roma smiled and shook her head: I envy you very much.

"Envy me, you stay."

Roma still shook her head: don\'t keep me. Everyone has his own destiny.

The lion girl smiled and said, "who is willing to retain you? The farther you go, the better. The woman I hate most is you!"

She stuffed a bag of gold coins into Roma\'s bag and hugged the strong girl.

……

When Manda got the title, she naturally had to keep her promise. The real war preparations must begin.

There are abundant grain reserves in the south, abundant capital reserves in the southeast, and the next most needed is the military reserve.

But where can we find the military reserve?

The southeast has a large population, but most of them are businessmen and have great mobility. Bessalu can only raise more than 15000 troops.

Due south has a huge population and a large military reserve, but more than 10000 elite soldiers were taken to the southwest by sheltai.

Now more than 10000 elite soldiers are building walls in Qixing mountain and calling them to fight?

Manda is not so brave, not to mention whether the more than 10000 are subject to management, as long as they return to their hometown, everything will help.

The most feasible way is to raise the army immediately, but the wife jumped out against it again.

This opposition is justified. She does not question Manda\'s identity or the power of the chief administrative officer, but according to the law formulated by Archduke sheltai.

"In the south, only members of the shertai family can recruit soldiers. You are not qualified to recruit soldiers."

Manda said, "it\'s easy to say. I\'ll go to Archduke and ask for another letter."

"Go and see if anyone responds to you!" the lady sneered. This time she was very confident in herself. "Not everything can be decided by letters. The nobles must see the members of the sheltai family before they let their people participate in the war."

It\'s embarrassing for Manda. Bring Archduke shertai back again?

It\'s too risky. Once sheltai gets out of control, the whole South will get out of control.

"The prince is out of the city to suppress the bandits. This matter can only be brought forward by childe Jinfu."

The lady shook her head and said, "Jinfu is still a minor and can\'t represent the sheltai family."

Manda shrugged her eyebrows and said, "then it\'s just you."

"No, I don\'t want to help you, but I hate war!" the lady looked at Manda contemptuously and appreciated his helpless appearance in the face of provocation.

The lady showed Manda a clear way: "this matter will be discussed slowly when my son comes back."

Manda also made sense. She sent a letter to Toka overnight to ask him to send the son back as soon as possible.

Three days later, the son came back, a total of six pieces, put together fairly complete.

The lady cried and fainted on the spot. Manda cried with her for a long time. When her wife woke up, Manda mentioned the conscription again.

The lady was furious: "you beast, you killed my son!"

"Calm down, madam. It has nothing to do with me. Archduke sheltai asked the son to suppress the bandits. The son died in the hands of the bandits."

"So you only think about your war. You don\'t care about the life and death of the sheltai family?"

"I care. I recruit to avenge my son."

"You lie!"

"I admit there is a bit of exaggeration, but I don\'t have more time to waste."

Manda really doesn\'t have much time to waste. Besa is waiting for his news.

Moreover, the war in the north is about to start, and the conflict between denko and bucken is becoming more and more intense. Now is the best time to prepare for war.

"Madam, I don\'t want to bother the grand duke for this matter. I\'m very sad that the eldest son was killed in battle, but we have to prepare early. If you have to force me, I can ruin your reputation. At that time, even if Jinfu is still a minor, I think he is qualified to represent the sheltai family."

The lady cried for three days and finally realized the reality. She agreed to Manda\'s request and came forward as the Archduke\'s wife to help Manda recruit soldiers.

Madam\'s appeal is really not small. In less than a month, Manda enlisted 20000 troops in the south.

During this period, the war in the North has begun.

Leond\'s army and bucken\'s army moved almost simultaneously and occupied two cities in one month.

The number of cities in the North was relatively large, but de enko could not be indifferent. He finally organized the northern coalition and began to resist. The first opponent he chose was leond.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition, de Enke believed in his own experience. The coalition had just been established and needed a victory to boost morale, so he took the lead in choosing weak demon believers.

The number of coalition forces is 50000, while leond has only more than 3000 people. Although these more than 3000 people are ancient god believers, de enko disdains it very much.

He knew that these demon God believers came from civilians and knew nothing about war before becoming believers. Having demon God skills can enable them to have strong individual combat ability and take advantage of sneak attacks and ambushes.

De Enke\'s inference comes from previous battles. Including the drawing City, demon believers captured three cities and more than a dozen towns, and each battle completely depended on sneak attacks. The unsuspecting lords suffered a great loss, but now the good days of the enemy should be over.

In large-scale combat, the individual combat capability of soldiers is almost negligible. The key to victory lies in tactical deployment, soldiers\' discipline and weapons allocation, which is the common sense understood by every excellent general.

In de enko\'s eyes, these 3000 believers may not be able to resist 3000 ordinary soldiers, let alone 50000 troops.

He took the lead in pointing to the broom Town, which was a town just captured by lyonde. Taking advantage of its precarious foothold and directly annihilating it is the best choice to deal with the mob.

De enko\'s army soon surrounded the broom town. In the process of encirclement, it encountered sporadic resistance and was easily defeated by the army.

The enemy was too weak, careless and vulnerable, and the victory came too easily, which really made de enko unable to lift up his spirit.

But after besieging broom Town, de enko\'s spirit was forced to rise.

There was no one over the town, and the enemy and civilians disappeared.

After verifying the spy\'s news, de enko had a bad hunch that he seemed to fall into the enemy\'s trap.

Sure enough, a lord reported at dawn that their camp had been raided by the enemy and nearly all 1000 troops had died.
